Germany

Travelling in Germany does not generally result in a donation deferral.

Between 1.7–30.11, a stay of more than 20 hours in the northeastern areas of the country will result in a donation deferral of 28 days. The donation deferral applies to an area east of the Rostock-Magdeburg-Hof line. The donation deferral does not apply to these cities, but it does apply to Berlin.

The donation deferral is due to a seasonal epidemic of the West Nile virus, and the deferral will begin from the date of return to Finland.
